Jordyn's bone marrow aspiration shows that as of today, January 15th, there are no leukemia blast in her marrow....she is 100% donor cells! Certainly there is still a long road to travel. One in which I try to find the right balance between optimism and reality with cancer. Today is such a day to say.....a miracle is in the making! She has fought this fight for so long and has shown all of us what strength and courage really means. Jordyn said to me today.."this is the best day of my life. I heard my cancer is gone and I got to see Carrie Underwood".
Today was Country Music Cares Day here at St Jude and she indeed had Carrie Underwood come into her room to spend some time with her today. Also, Randy Owen, from Alabama also came in and talked with Jordyn. A few years ago, Randy Owen started raising money for St Jude with Country Music Artists. He created a song that is completely Jordyn's life story. It's called "Braid My Hair". Take a moment to listen to it online.!! It rings so true to Jordyn....she just wants to take her mask off and breathe air....but most of all she just wants to Braid her Hair. Well, after today's news we are certainly going in the right direction.
This has been such another long road for all of us involved. However, I do want to thank my Husband for creating a blog for our family to keep our extended family and friends all up to date about home life. Because in reality....home still stands for Taylor and Sonny. I miss those two people soooo much and Jordyn and I can't wait to be back home with them again. Jordyn and I have come so far because of all the strength and support we receive from everyone. Thank you , Thank you and Thank you!! Most of all, I personally would never be able to go down this road again so gracefully without the support I receive day in and out from you Sontaya! You are my rock! I love you more than you will ever know! Taylor, you also inspire Mommy by being so strong as you have been throughout the years. You are also an incredible and strong soul to have gone through this so many times of being apart from us. I love you too more than you will ever know! People also see your compassion and care for your sister that brings others to tears. Thank you for being the best sister anyone could ever have.
Keep up the fight Jordyn! The road is still long but what a way to keep traveling.....you amaze all of us baby
